Description
This flagship of the Baileys Stud Range is scientifically formulated to provide essential nutritional support for all types of breeding and youngstock as well as performance horses at rest or in work. The quality protein it contains supplies key essential amino acids, which are important for muscle and tissue development, and helps encourage steady even growth rates without promoting excessive weight gain. Its balance of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, including chelated (Bioplex®) minerals, has been specifically developed to support correct skeletal development and tissue integrity as well as the immune system and general well-being. The blend Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids from linseed and soya oil are essential for tissue integrity and help promote healthy skin and coat.
With minimal starch and calorie levels, Stud Balancer is perfect alongside forage for those who hold condition well or can be fed in conjunction with other compound feeds, or straights, where additional energy for condition or performance is required. Small frequent, digestible meals are key to reducing excessive glycaemic response and avoiding starch overload, which can be associated with uneven growth rates. The nutrient density of Stud Balancer means that only small volumes are required, helping keep meals sizes down and also benefiting those with reduced appetite. Yea Sacc® yeast culture is included, to stimulate fibre digesting bacteria, along with Digest Plus prebiotic, which feeds other beneficial species, and the two work together to promote overall gut health. This is of particular importance at times of stress and for the fussy feeder.
FEEDING ADVICE
The following table suggests quantities of Stud Balancer to be fed in pounds and kilogrammes per day when feeding ad lib good quality forage ie hay (winter) or grass (summer).
Quantities are based on the “anticipated mature bodyweight” of the youngster or actual bodyweight of the adult horse. The actual/estimated bodyweights of a youngster’s dam and/or sire are a good basis from which to estimate the “anticipated mature bodyweight” ie. the bodyweight you believe the youngster will attain as an adult.
Rapidly growing foals, or those with developmental problems, may benefit from an additional ½lb (225g) of Stud Balancer per day. Suckling foals which become top heavy may benefit from Foal Assist drench. Please consult a Baileys nutritionist for further advice on individual cases.
Stud Balancer can be fed alongside reduced quantities of compound feeds, like Baileys Stud Mix, Stud Cubes, Prep Mix or Yearling Cubes, to ensure a balanced diet is maintained at all times. For every 1.4kg/3lb of the above Baileys compound feeds removed from the diet, feed 0.45kg/1lb (two coffee mugs) of Stud Balancer.
